Hello all. In place of my usual gibberish, I would like to draw your attention to a petition for the banning of cluster bombs.
[link]"Ahmad picked up a bright metal object in a park in Lebanon where he was celebrating his 5th birthday. It was an unexploded cluster bomblet, which blew up in his face, killing him slowly in front of his family.
Three years ago, public pressure pushed through a ban of these cruel bombs. But now the US is lobbying nations to quietly sign a new law that allows their use -- signing the death warrant for thousands of other children. Most countries are still on the fence on how to vote. Only if we raise the alarm across the world can we shame our governments to block this deadly decision.
Positions are being drawn up now. We only have four days until countries meet to send our leaders a clear message: stand up for the cluster bombs ban and keep our children safe."
Do please take a moment to sign this and perhaps bring a teensy bit more peace into the world.
Thanks.
And now, cats!

I'm tired of this damn puppet show.
